I was doing contract work for Apple for a good while, and when it was time for me to sign the NDA agreement, I asked my boss, "So, any main theme I should take from this?"
his response:
"Basically that, if you say anything, Apple will sue you out of existence...."
That may sound harsh, but they're a business, and their products do rely on a veil of secrecy...if for nothing else, for [considerable] buzz factor. While the stuff above-listed sounds extreme, I think that most companies that have so much to lose would do much the same.
I may be wrong though.
A Visual Effects company I worked at [before I was there] emailed a webcam single-frame image of something she was working on -- the FBI *literally* came in and took her away.
Big money companies don't fool around...and it's not just Apple.
